| Description | Taylor Cadbury begins this address with reference to the growth and development of the modern urban landscape. She considers how weariness with 'the rush of great cities' encouraged a love for rural and natural scenery. Examining the power of poetic representations of rural springtime, Taylor Cadbury suggests that 'only busy people & people from towns, can fully enjoy the witchery of the country or of the sea.'
Taylor Cadbury's address includes quotations from the poetry of Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892) and Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861) before concluding with Biblical references. |
